I know it's obvious but have you tried pulling on lens as trying to unscrew it

 

Drilled head off then while pulling lens all the chrome back came away from mudguard piss pot idea triumph putting metal in plastic, liquid metal some studs into plastic piss pot idea triumph aw so something to do on a wet Oct day

 

Stick a pic on so we can see....

 

What of the wet Oct day or this crap plastic light fitting and it not work tried wires front of loom were mudguard takes off to back only wanted to change light bulb thought it had gone not sure now piss pot motorbikes

 

Will get pics on Monday it's a dangling light at moment another day another dollar

 

Here are pics of dangling back light the three rusty bolts/studs were left in mudguard but as you can see one bolt mount is broke crap plastic, checked the wires with multimeter yes continuity but bulb not work when ignition on also no brake light

 

Earthing problem?

 

Latest got stop light working scratching my head over main never mind didn't beat a ride on a sunny Oct day

 

Looking at the pictures, I might strip and lube all my fixings over the winter. If it's going to be a problem I might as well have it in bits over the winter. I might make a to do list for the winter . I'll replace as much as I can with stainless , I always like a stainless fixings.

Yeah your lot now you have seen my misgivings, I ended up cutting thread from some long stainless bolts put into plastic after drilling out and tapping 8 mm then metal paste onto threads also stainless nuts washers.Still only got brake light another day another dollar.

 

Does your side light at the front work OK? Is it just the back light that is out? I blew a fuse on mine whilst messing puting a relay in to switch the supply to my heated grips, the back light and side light stopped working but as far as I can remember everything else still worked OK.

It's 03 America no sidelight just main front on dip and back light normal now everything OK but no back light only stop light same with different bulb mmm scratching my head

 

My 2011 america has a small side / pilot lamp inside the headlight, but obviously that doesn't mean that yours does. I'll have to look for a wiring diagram on the net and post again.

A quick look at the online hand book suggests position 3 of the ignition key puts on the front and rear sidelights. Have you tried this and if so what happens. Sorry if yours doesn't have this I'm making a few assumptions.
